Classic Walking Liberty Design by Adolph Weinman

Adolph Weinman's Walking Liberty design features on the obverse. Liberty stretches her right hand out in front of her, as though she is presenting the rising sun to the holder. She is draped in the American flag and carries laurel and oak branches, which serve as symbols of honors bestowed upon civilians and members of the military, respectively.

On the reverse is an adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States. John Mercanti's design features an eagle protection a union shield as it clutches arrows and an olive branch. Above its head are thirteen stars, one for each of the original states.
